Author Description

A new edition of James Allen's classic work of self-improvement, As A Man Thinketh, originally published in 1903. In Allen's own words, the As A Man Thinketh "... [deals] with the power of thought, and particularly with the use and application of thought to happy and beautiful issues... It shows how, in his own thought-world, each man holds the key to every condition, good or bad, that enters into his life, and that, by working patiently and intelligently upon his thoughts, he may remake his life, and transform his circumstances." It is designed to be "A book that will help you to help yourself... a pocket companion for thoughtful people... a book on the power and right application of thought." The book's title is drawn from the Book of Proverbs, chapter 23, verse 7: "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." This Self-Improvement Pocket Classics edition is designed to be convenient enough to fit in your pocket, purse, or briefcase, but with font large enough for easy reading and margins wide enough to be marked up by students of all ages.
